Thank you!


Thank you to all of you who have been following and reading my blog here. In the coming days I have decided to move my remaining posts from here to my main blog http://karenmomofthreescraft.blogspot.ca/

I publish daily on my main blog and will continue to do so. I had hoped to be able to write both blogs daily and publish more Canadian Content on this blog, however it has become increasingly more difficult to find and publish Canadian Etsy shops and products at this time.
 I hope you will continue to follow me on my main doll blog and thank each and everyone of you who has stopped by to read. I look forward to hearing from you there.
As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com

Doll Tents on Etsy


I love my doll tent, mine is an Our Generation one I got from my sister who found it at Zellers here in Canada but I always admire the handmade ones I see on Etsy, here are some of the ones  Etsy has to offer for our 18 inch dolls.
Over at Twice loved dolls this fun set is offered at $58 and includes
"This sale includes this enormous tent - it comfortably fits 2 dolls! The tent is easily set up and easily taken down. It can be closed up so the boys can have privacy, or it can be opened up with ribbon tie backs. This tent has a pirate theme - arrrrgh matey! The tent is crafted out of 100% cotton fabric, so once the tent poles are out, it can be easily laundered. It also comes with the matching "mummy style" sleeping bag and pillow, crafted out of the same fabric. This tent will provide lots of fun play time!" Click here for shop listing
Over at Erin's Corner Etsy shop this adorable set offered at $49  "Each tent is loving hand made and has screened Windows and doors. The doors have velcro closures and tie backs and the windows have flaps that can either be left down or rolled up. The tents are supported by 2 4 1/2 ft lengths of plastic tubing that can be easily removed for storage, transportation, or light washing." Click here for shop listing
Over at My Girl Clothing Co this Red and Taupe Tent is sure to impress your doll loving boy or girl click here for shop listing

If you want to try making your own tent from the now out of print Simplicity Pattern I actually found one on Etsy, offered at $48 from Oh Sew Charming . If you want to try your hand at creating your own set click here for shop listing.
